In this workshop, you will be introduced to the basics of sound synthesis, and their manifestation within the Pure Data (PD) software environment. You will be invited to use the acquired knowledge to develop your own Pure Data sound generation patches. This workshop can be taken individually, or as a refresher before entering pt.2 of the 2-day Create your own collaborative Instrument with Pure Data workshop, where you will be invited to take a software instrument, and its physical controls, from concept to realization. Further controller options and ways to map them to a PD patch can be explored in the Sensing the World with Pure Data workshop.
